~Feel free to discuss any topic related to the Mitchell Camera. Both 35 mm and 16 mm models are welcomed here. Also consider posting topics of other major motion picture cameras that you feel are important to the development of the Mitchell Camera.

Update: You may have noticed that we have returned to just one category as opposed to dividing the forum into 7 different areas. Apparently, it was an unpopular change and returning to the old format will allow posters to find their submissions more easily.~

Gentlemen; I found this very interesting web site over at turbosquid where they have hundreds of products created in autocad, which are for sale. I have included their link below.

I was pretty excited when I found a Mitchell Standard which had about 20 different views that you could look at for free. I could see the familiar shape and the Mitchell Acorn on the mouse ear magazine. Of course, the Mitchell name on the Mat / Sun Shade rods really stood out. "This is going to be awesome", I thought and then I started to explore all the different angles.

When I viewed the crank side, I went, huh? Oh no, you didn't!

My eye immediately when to the Bell & Howell take up wheels on the outside of the magazine which are easy to spot as not being a Mitchell. But a split second latter I spied all the Bell & Howell 2709 controls and odd shape by the front turret.

Talk about artist license!!! The autocad artist decided he had more reference materials to use the Bell & Howell model 2709 to make his "Mitchell". I think he did an outstanding job of the rendering, its just not a true MItchell. If you can get beyond that, click the link below as it's a great autocad design of a neat camera. BUT NOT A MITCHELL. Sorry, I get excited about these things.
